Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The State Auditor’s Office does not have any records available to us which would allow us to fashion an informed response assessing the financial impacts of the proposed legislation. However, we do believe the potential exists for cost savings through the use of the additional alternative sentencing provisions allowed in the proposed Bill.
Memorandum
We would recommend a Fiscal Note Request be forwarded to the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation who would likely have more experience working historically with the various county agencies around the State in administering the Work Release Program. Accordingly, we believe they might be better equipped to provide the Legislature with an assessment of the potential cost savings and any possible additional costs which might be tied to adoption of the proposed Bill.
